Description
A distinguished period residence set on mature grounds alongside the Boyle River
Located in the heart of the historic town of Boyle, Frybrook House is a distinguished Georgian residence that seamlessly blends 18th-century elegance with modern comfort. Its peaceful riverside setting evokes the charm of a country estate, yet the property is centrally located in the town and all of its amenities, offering the rare combination of tranquillity and convenience.
The house is approached through a gated, pillared entrance beside the gate lodge. A sweeping driveway, flanked by mature trees, leads to the main residence. Sensitively restored by its current owners in recent years, Frybrook House is presented in excellent condition and currently operates as a bed and breakfast, reflecting both its architectural pedigree and commercial potential.
Accommodation is arranged over three principal storeys offering generous proportions and refined living spaces. The interiors are thoughtfully curated, original detailing, and a harmonious blend of period character and contemporary design. The house features high ceilings, delicate cornicing, and a sweeping original staircase. There are three bedrooms to the front of the house while there is scope to create a private quarters to the rear, with four further bedrooms and a toilet facility on the ground floor along with another room that can work as a bedroom/office/sitting room. All bedrooms are ensuite. The layout and scale lend themselves equally to family living, hospitality or alternative ventures.
Frybrook House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of distinction, combining heritage, amenity, and income-generating potential in one of the west of Ireland's most characterful towns.
In all the accommodation extends to approximately 7,424 sq ft / 689 sq m.

It has been sympathetically renovated and is currently tenanted as a café/bistro offering an additional amenity and a complementary income stream to the main house. Further information available from the selling agents on request.
